Title

MarkLogic Server must initiate session auditing upon startup. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

Session auditing is used when a user's activities are under investigation. To ensure all activity is captured during the periods when session auditing is in use, it must be in operation for the entire time the DBMS is running.
